MODEL CHECKER

 

The functions in the MODEL CHECKER menu validate the DSI models.  The values for model validation are set with defaults in DSI, but the values may be adjusted to suit the user's needs. Element orientation, size, skew, connectivity, and interior angles may be compared to the specified criteria.  Elements can be checked individually or for the entire model. After a model check function is performed, an interactive inquiry function allows the user to pick individual elements for the calculated quality.

 

 

A detailed description of each function is given in the following sections.
